Mohib Ahsan further plundered the bowling with 54 runs off 20 deliveries at a strike rate of 270% while Hamza with 26 and Madni with 20 runs furthered the cause as Karachi Gladiators bowling attack was bruised and battered and fielding only 9 men, they were in a spot of bother from the start. For Gladiators, Zulqarnain and Adam got 2 wickets each while Nazeer and Waleed got a wicket each.

The reply from Gladiators batsmen was even worse as there were 3 ducks as Jalal, Adam and Waleed were all dismissed without scoring any runs. only Zohaib Yousufi with 15 and Nazeer with 14 runs put up some resistance but Gladiators were bundled out for just 43 runs.
